HOW TO ADD OR REMOVE FAMILY MEMBER IN SPOTIFY

HOW TO ADD OR REMOVE FAMILY MEMBER IN SPOTIFY FAMILY PLAN 2025

Spotify’s Family Plan provides a neat means of as many as six individuals living within the same house to enjoy premium access without paying the full price each. However, most users find managing members—adding, swapping, or deleting—a bit puzzling at first. That’s why this in-depth guide takes you through all the steps you have to undertake.

1. Setting Up Spotify Family Subscription

When you’re starting anew, here’s how you turn on the Family Plan:

Log in to your Spotify account on any device.
Go to your Account Settings or Premium tab.
Click Upgrade to Premium, then select Premium Family Plan.
Enter your payment information and confirm.
Once the plan is live, you’ll notice member slots—this where the party starts.

2. Inviting a New Family Member

Inviting others is a cinch and agile:

Open Spotify and go to the Premium for Family page.
You’ll see slots that say “Active” (filled) and “Available” (empty).
Tap an available slot.
Select from two invitation options:
Invite via Link: Paste the created link and send it to the individual (e.g., via WhatsApp, SMS, or any messaging application).
Invite via Email: Enter their email address to invite them directly.
After sending, that seat will display “Waiting for one person.”
The invitee just clicks the link or email, accepts the invite, and joins—no problem.

3. Removing or Replacing a Family Member

If the slot is filled and you’d like to shuffle memberships, you’ve got a couple of options:

Method 1: Swap Out a Pending Member

Head to Account settings and then Manage Members.
Click on the Waiting for one person slot.
Choose Replace the person, and a new invitation link will be created.
Invite someone new.
Save the change with OK, and you’re done.

Method 2: Swap Out an Active Member

Find the filled slot you need to clear.
Click Replace this person—a new link appears.
Share that link with the new member.
Tell the former occupant that they’ve been unseated, if you want.

4. How to Accept a Spotify Family Plan Invitation

Assuming you’re the invitee—here’s how you begin:

Click the invitation link or view the email from the Family Plan admin.
Log in to (or create) your Spotify account if asked.
Spotify might request you to verify your home address to qualify—plug it in correctly.
After verification, you’ll gain instant access to Spotify Premium under the family account.

5. Managing Members through Spotify Desktop App

Want to manage invites or deletions with your computer or laptop? The desktop app has you covered:

Launch and sign into the Spotify desktop app.
Click on your profile image in the top-right corner and go to Account Settings.
Go to the Family Subscription page.
You’ll have the choice to invite new members or substitute current ones, either by link or email.
It functions exactly as the mobile application—easy and effective.

Tips for a Seamless Experience

Always invite individuals who live in your household, as Spotify checks addresses to avoid abuse.
Check if they have a Spotify account—it makes setup easier.
Tell invitees to check their spam folders, particularly if inviting via email.
Mark down invitation expiration dates, as links tend to become invalid for a brief period.
Clearly communicate changes—if you swap out someone, let them know; transparency avoids uncomfortable surprises.

In Short

Whether introducing new listeners or culling your Family Plan lineup, Spotify makes it easy. Here’s a brief rundown:

Enable your Family Plan through account settings.
Invite members via links or email.
Add or trade members at any time through the same invite tools.
New members join by just following the invite link and verifying eligibility.
All the features are duplicated across mobile and desktop apps for your ease of use.

This process allows you the freedom to customize your Spotify Family Plan to keep up with your home’s evolving needs. Now, go go ahead and manage those accounts and get everyone listening to their favorite songs all together—seamlessly!
